Burn Permits to be Temporarily Banned in Santa Fe County
SANTA FE, NM – The Santa Fe County Fire Marshal announces Fire Marshal Order 4.13.22.01, an open burn permit ban, effective Wednesday, April 13, 2022, and continuing until further notice. The ban is designed to reduce the risk of unwanted human-caused wildland fires in the unincorporated areas of Santa Fe County, prone to fire dangers. The exceptions to the open burn permit ban include: Outdoor gas stoves or grills with a shut-off valve, located 3 feet from any structure or combustible materials Portable outdoor fireplaces, located 15 feet from any structure or combustible materials In an attempt to eliminate the risk that a fire will get out of control and create a wildland fire, all current Santa Fe County burn permits are suspended, along with the issuance of new permits, and open burning is prohibited within the county until further order of the Fire Marshal. Those found violating the order will be cited.
